5.7-V, 6-A, 16-mΩ load switch with adj. rise time and optional output discharge

The TPS22965x is a single channel load switch that provides configurable rise time to minimize inrush current. The device contains an N-channel MOSFET that can operate over an input voltage range of 0.8 V to 5.7 V and can support a maximum continuous current of 6 A. The switch is controlled by an on and off input (ON), which is capable of interfacing directly with low-voltage control signals. In the TPS22965, a 225-Ω on-chip load resistor is added for quick output discharge when switch is turned off.

The TPS22965x is available in a small, space-saving 2-mm × 2-mm 8-pin SON package (DSG) with integrated thermal pad allowing for high power dissipation. The device is characterized for operation over the free-air temperature range of –40°C to +105°C.
